My foot lever for the gear shifter is totally off. I was told just by a buddy that its missing a screw but that doesn't help. What do you think is the problem. I have 2 pics hopefully they will help. Let me know if more are needed, thanks!!

If that first pic is your shifter standing straight up then it seems all you need is a bolt to line it back up. To see if it works find a bolt that will slide in to see if that is it the. Replace the bolt with the proper size bolt.
